      I was the slack admin. We could not see private messages of clients. We could see company wide channels.

        If I remember correctly you have to pay extra to be able to access private messages. Maybe you didn’t have this option enabled?

        They can see it. I know because someone had an HR investigation happening and they showed me screenshots of his Slack conversations.

          If it was a screenshot then they didn’t get it from slack. They have spyware that takes screenshots.

          Obviously if they install malware that records keystrokes or the screen then they can see what you type and what’s on your screen.

          But slack doesn’t let admins export private chats

            Then they must have been able to capture his whole screen. Idk how they’d do that days later, but they had a screenshot of a private conversation in slack. Maybe he had already set off some flags before then and they were watching him or something.

      It actually depends on what tier of Slack license the company uses. Private is a black hole for anything short of Enterprise Grid, unless they reset your password and login as you, obviously doable but not at all subtle.
